You might have missed it, unless you were up at all hours waiting for news on #Zexit. But there was a little bit of a thunderstorm over Cape Town on Monday night / Tuesday morning.

Luckily, some crafty photographers like Bryn de Kocks (check out his Facebook page here) likes to keep an eye on these things. Bryn captured these amazing photos of last night’s storm.

The good news is the pictures are amaaazing, the bad news is they didn’t bring much rain.

“These pictures were taken near Raithby looking NW towards Cape Town. The mountain in the pictures is Table Mountain. There was one storm cell that passed over us, that brought only slight drops of rain that lasted no more than 5 minutes. Was taken around 00:30,” said de Kocks.

Thunderstorms aren’t usually part of Cape Town’s weather pattern, but they do happen occasionally. It’s been a scorcher of a week in the Mother City, with temperatures dipping over the 30 degree mark. Some more storms could hit on Tuesday, but, as we’ve told you before, even if they do come with rain, spots of rain aren’t going to make a difference to the water crisis.
